This endpoint allows you to purchase a phone number that was found using the search endpoint. The platform automatically handles pricing, billing, and provisioning.
You must have a valid payment method on file before purchasing a phone number. The purchase creates a monthly subscription that will auto-renew.

How It Works

  1. Search - First use the search endpoint to find available numbers
  2. Purchase - Submit the phone number you want to this endpoint
  3. Automatic Processing - The platform:
    • Validates the number is still available
    • Determines the correct pricing based on country
    • Creates a monthly subscription on your payment method
    • Provisions the number with our telephony provider
    • Creates the phone number record in your account
Phone number purchases are non-refundable. The subscription will continue until you release the number.
